Why We Love This

Small copper betel nut box. "The betel nut is the nut from the areca palm wrapped in a betel leaf. Chewing the mixture is a tradition in India and many parts of Asia which dates back thousands of years and continues to be a popular tradition today. Actual box may vary slightly from the one pictured."

In this specially curated sale Russell shares an amazing collection of authentic architectural elements, antique furniture, accessories, and art from India and other parts of the world.
